BE Presents -10dB FM HD

Guest Speaker: Tim Bealor and John Bisset

August 19, 2008

This month’s meeting featured Tim Bealor and John Bisset from Broadcast Electronics presenting a timely PowerPoint update on single hottest topic discussed at this year’s NAB show, the proposed -10dB vs. -20dB power increase for FM HD Radio. This power increase is intended to make HD Radio a more resilient service, but may come at a significant boost in interference on the already crowded FM band and raises questions about equipment and tower solutions. Tim also talked about BE’s new exciter and imbedded exporter technology as it relates to HD Radio and to single frequency networks.

The meeting was held at Radio Free Asia at 2025 M Street, NW Washington, DC; dinner at 6:30pm, meeting at 7:00pm.

Don’t forget that this year’s annual summer picnic will be held on Saturday, September 13 at the WMAL transmitter site, 7115 Greentree Road, Bethesda MD. This year we are pleased to have SMPTE Washington, D.C. Section join us for food and fun, mark you calendars, more details to come.
